The Originals

[ctaulbee]

A spin-off from The Vampire Diaries and set in New Orleans, The Originals centers on the Mikaelson siblings, otherwise known as the world's original vampires: Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt). Now Klaus must take down his protégé, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), who is now in charge of New Orleans, in order to re-take his city, as he originally built New Orleans. Klaus departed from the city after being chased down by his father Mikael, while it was being constructed and Marcel took charge. As Klaus has returned after many years, his ego has provoked him to become the king of the city. "Every King needs an heir" says Klaus, accepting the unborn child. The child is a first to be born to a hybrid (part vampire, part werewolf) and a werewolf (Hayley).

"The Originals" Season 3 premieres Thursday, Oct. 8

I have been pretty impressed with Season 1 & 2 and I think this is one of the best vampire - werewolf - witch type shows out. It's kind of tricky if you have never seen the Vampire Diaries as most of the introduction and character background is scatter in it over a few seasons up until the spin off.

Never heard of it but I did like the first couple season of Vampire Diaries. Then I just got busy and haven't watched anymore. Will have to check it out.

Yeah a lot of the "who they are" and how they came to where this one starts is in the VD so it might be good to catch up on that first
